     Okay, you've confused me.  I maintain that the caller has more
context than the callee, and is therefore (often) in a better position
to make wider-scope decisions in handling errors.  That, it seems to
me, is a distinct and notable difference in how the errors are handled.
Yet you say "there is really no difference" in handling an error Here
or There (or maybe even Elsewhere).  I don't get it.
